Objective: To investigate the characteristics and HIV confirmed positive status among individuals attending HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) clinics in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, so as to provide the basis for enhancing interventions targeting high-risk populations for AIDS. Methods: Demographic information, reasons for consultation, consulting institutions, and HIV antibody testing data of individuals attending VCT clinics in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2019 to 2023 were collected through the VCT database of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The characteristics of individuals attending VCT were described. Factors affecting HIV confirmed positive among VCT clinic attendees were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 249 919 individuals attended VCT clinics in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2019 to 2023, including 128 069 males (51.24%) and 121 850 females (48.76%). The majority of attendees were aged 25-<35 years, accounting for 92 445 cases (36.99%). Among them, 785 cases were confirmed as HIV positive, with a positivity rate of 0.31%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that males (OR=4.787, 95%CI: 3.562-6.434), 45-<65 years of age (45-<55 years, OR=7.723, 95%CI: 1.786-33.406; 55-<65 years, OR=7.689, 95%CI: 1.757-33.653), being unmarried (OR=2.143, 95%CI: 1.580-2.906), junior high school education or below (OR=1.147, 95%CI: 1.042-2.430), having the history of high-risk behaviors or exposure risks (commercial heterosexual behaviors, OR=2.717, 95%CI: 1.707-4.324; non-commercial non-fixed heterosexual behaviors, OR=5.421, 95%CI: 3.763-7.809; homosexual behaviors, OR=70.774, 95%CI: 48.409-103.473; having an HIV-positive spouse/fixed partner/mother, OR=100.024, 95%CI: 62.490-160.100; drug injection, OR=5.366, 95%CI: 2.213-13.014), and seeking general hospitals or traditional Chinese medicine hospitals (OR=1.973, 95%CI: 1.650-2.360) were associated with a higher risk of HIV confirmed positive. Conclusions HIV confirmed positive among individuals attending VCT clinics in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is associated with gender, age, marital status, educational level, reasons for consultation, and consulting institutions. It is recommended to strengthen health education and targeted interventions for high-risk populations to reduce the risk of HIV infection.

Objective:To explore the current situation of rehabilitation resource and the influencing factors of rehabilitation nursing needs of patients at home in Xuzhou so as to provide a reference for home rehabilitation for patients.Methods:From October 2018 to December 2018, this study investigated all rehabilitation medical institutions (rehabilitation specialized hospitals, general hospitals with Rehabilitation Department, community health service institutions) in Xuzhou City by general investigation.

This study also analyzed the influencing factors of home rehabilitation nursing needs by Logistic regression.Results:There were 120 rehabilitation medical institutions in Xuzhou City. The bed number was 2 675 accounted for 57.98% (2 675/4 314) of the bed number shall be equipped with. There were 402 rehabilitation physicians, 432 rehabilitation nurses and 808 rehabilitation therapists respectively occupied 31.07% (402/1 294) , 16.69% (432/2 588) and 31.22% (808/2 588) of the planning. There were 30.90% (127/411) of rehabilitation patients signed a contract with community doctors, and 45.67% (58/127) of them dissatisfied with community doctors service and the satisfaction rate was 18.90% (24/127) . The influencing factors of family doctor contract included the ages of patients ( OR=0.557) , history of hemiplegia ( OR=1.520) and the number of community doctors ( OR=1.131) . The young the ages were, the better the contract degrees were. The factors promoted the contract were hemiplegia and increasing in the number community doctors. Conclusions:In Xuzhou, the rehabilitation medical resource allocation cannot meet the needs of the masses.
